SAN MARCO5TRANSIT PLAN I FINALREPORT City of San Marcos Will there be any riders at Star Park? Or just college students. It is good to help people. I'm skeptical? don't like the 60 min part. Glad a bus is going up Hunter again. It's perfect the way it is for my needs. Benefits our community I'm on Rt 1 and having nights and weekends would be great as long as it still stopped at the P.O. Thanks Please still serve local neighborhoods and senior centers. Like the increase access down Hunter to STAR park but wonderabout the effect during the interim between semesters when the Bobcat Shuttle is not running --no access to shopping center/apartments down WonderWorld. I need route to run every 30 min. Need route to run every 30 min. How is someone supposed to understand this? These locations need something, but I don't have enough information to make a sound decision. This is the most logical route servicing the most mobility -challenged areas and economically disadvantaged populations/ services. More frequent 60 minutes is incredibly infrequent. Service is getting worse to places like the government center. I don't know where else to write this comment because routeabout which I would like to comment -- route 7 -- has been completely erased from the current proposed transit network. In any case, the northwest quadrant of the city an area with moderately high density and significant new housing development -- is marooned and disconnected from the proposed new transit plan. What I had hoped to see was a way to connect the current route 7 with existing/proposed university routes via Craddock avenue. 60 -minute service is functionally unusable and will subvert any success of transit in San Marcos. The present#1 route has service every 30 min. and -- while still modest -- is the highest ridership in the existing City system. Decreasing frequency is a massive step backward and is unacceptable. Will be deeply disappointed if this process does not have at least one line (that isn'tjust a legacy route providing door to campus service) with minimum 15 - minute service to demonstrate how functional transit works. Partor all of the #1 line seemed/seems like the opportunity to provide 15 min. service. Do support the concept of splitting the crosstown line and connecting it at the Downtown Transit Plaza. This route covers a VERY large distance at VERY low frequency. It's not clear who this will serve. The frequency on this route is too low to have any ridership. You mightwant to increase the frequency of this route due to how much land it covers. Needs to run on Sundays. Make sure that there is a stop for Purgatory Park, and the Golf Course at Kissing Tree. I want to make sure you understand I have big concerns about the Transit Plaza however. Have you considered the striped portion of Hopkins in front of little H EB? I know you are looking for low traffic streets to make the bus pull in/out more efficient but this takes a big toll on our parking counts, and we have purposely necked Edward Gary down at the Hutchinson intersection to slow traffic, Will this proposal affect those improvements?
